- Fellowship:
- Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services
- Why I chose Pine Rest
- I wanted a place that would allow me to care for complex psychiatric patients, give opportunities to train and gain experience in neuromodulation treatments (ECT, TMS, DBS, etc.), all while being respected in a non-threatening, family-friendly environment. This was a tall order, but I found it here at Pine Rest. Here at Pine Rest I have been able to get the best training I can imagine, and still pursue my other interests.
- Professional or Clinical Interests:
- I have particular interests in the intersection of psychiatry and the law, and will be part of Pine Rest’s newest fellowship in Forensic Psychiatry next year. I also have interests in inpatient psychiatric treatment, neuromodulation, teaching, and consultation to medical colleagues.
- Other Interests:
- Biking, playing guitar, volunteering at church, and most importantly, being with my family.

I was also drawn to the campus, which resembles a park more than a stand-alone psychiatric facility while offering the educational opportunities of the latter. Lastly everyone during my interview was warm and welcoming, and it was important to me to choose a program that prioritizes the support and wellbeing of their residents and staff.

- Graduate
- George Mason University, M.Ed. in Curriculum & Instruction; Liberty University, Ed.S. in Curriculum & Instruction.
- Medical School
- Texas A&M Health Science Center – College of Medicine, College Station, Texas.
- Why I chose Pine Rest
- Its basic philosophy of treating patients as human beings first resonates with how I want to practice medicine. It quickly became apparent that while the faculty at Pine Rest are experts in their field, they are also passionate educators that will help me become a great psychiatrist who is also a caring, compassionate, and ethical physician! Additionally, as an older, non-traditional resident who is married with two children, I appreciate the work-life balance that is clearly evident in this program. Finally, the Grand Rapids area has great schools, many job opportunities for my wife, and a variety of family-friendly activities that will allow my entire family to be happy, while also escaping the horrendously hot Texas summers (yes, I’m prepared for the snow).
- Other Interests
- I thoroughly enjoy nature, camping, backpacking and have completed large sections of the Appalachian Trail, with hopes of one day doing a thru-hike. As a transplant, I’m excited to travel the west coast of Michigan and spend time exploring the UP! I also enjoy watching and playing just about any sport, but thoroughly enjoy running and playing ice hockey which I have played since childhood. If it’s a weekend, you will often find me at a track, ice rink, or soccer field cheering on my kids.

- I chose Pine Rest based on the camaraderie that was exhibited not only between co-residents, but also between residents and attendings, as well as between fellow attendings.

Now that I am here I can attest to the community that you become a part of when you join the Pine Rest residency, and I have gotten the honor of working with great attendings and other residents who I continuously learn from, but have also made amazing friends. Aside from the sense of community, some of the nicest facilities that I have seen in any hospital or any department made the choice easy as well.
